A story that could use some sentence foam Depending on what you're running from Stepped into a cathedral and the skies were great A steady stream of old world spray could fix this city block in a way A sustain pedal hooked up to a brownstone A salutation that could benefit From a few of spritzes of varsity shit Layman’s terms lovers Shortcuts for gondoliers What in the Hell's Kitchen is going on here? It's the kind of thing that can bring one down A weak magnet on a friendship bracelet that you can't wear out Not trying to be bizarre Not trying to be bizarre but I started there anyway The ceaseless brinkmanship Might knock my fear of death loose A story that could use some sentence foam Depending on what you're running from

Praises Sung 03:41
Hopefully we're aware that we're capable But sometimes need to validate Although it should be innate It should be innate Henceforth, praises sung Occasionally it needs to convert to Sound waves to be knocked back Absent-mindedly it's too easy to slip into inmate mode Long ago my clique was infiltrated by a candidate who questioned "Why are my praises not being sung?" It was a punchline back then But it's a resonant lamentation A dangerous safety is set in motion Coats get flung Praises unsung Vowels In Time And the coats are flung It's the novelty ballads that speak volumes Henceforth, praises sung Occasionally it needs to convert to Sound waves to be knocked back

After four decades Old formats interest me The past seems nearby and recent After four decades Time perception is off Weather checked by zip code A credenza for our credentials Hip Lair, Lip Hair An age of fine-tuning Hit pause Pump the volume down Psychologist gets the gist Let that not be me Let that not be me Let that not be me Let that not be me Fervently secular Religious but not spiritually inclined I told my human vet that I've got this weird thing going on Where each day that passes accumulates into A grand total that calculates my age and I'm afraid That the number is getting unwieldy and the afternoon grows late I still can’t fold a fitted sheet and antiquity is neat Can’t fold a fitted sheet and antiquity is neat

Inserted some banter but it really didn't land at all Snuck a few laughs in but they failed to make contact A conversation that was ejecting passersby A troubled hologram at a roundtable discussion Satisfied with the quips Buoyed by the pleasantries I'm not in the spontaneous resolution know-how A myopic era looms Do you ever feel like a topic sailing away? Do you ever feel like a topic sailing away? Do you ever feel like your onboard computer needs reset? Have you ever attempted incremental mourning? Lately I seem to prefer to watch the film analysis Rather than the film itself Farsightedness could serve as an exorcism A way to reduce the schism

Thank you to the entire committee, I hereby Recuse myself completely This investigation feels more like a probe I haven't the patience at all I just wanted to take a few minutes And I just wanted to say a few words Thank you to this entire committee for their vision And bless this commission This adorable council And thank you to the entire committee And thank you to this entire committee I hereby recuse myself completely This investigation feels more like a probe I have no patience at all Not seeing patience at this time

Noir Napping 03:20
Lost two grand oak trees on our property By lost I don't mean misplaced When they came down we buckled Famous winds of the world took the red and The white was a mercy cutting After at least a century I'm sure there's a metaphor in there just waiting To come alive and explain what it's all been for Hey there let's not get carried away Hey there let's stick to entertaining You took a hard left at left field there my friend It's just some noir napping Famous winds of the world It's just some noir napping Famous last winds

I had this idea to endure the classics Recent music wasn't sending me chills anymore It's also called frisson And frisson is the reason that we call it a drug In the nineties I was turning up my nose At past albums that weren't punk or grunge I was coming of age And the nineteen sixties just seemed so hippie-dippie And the seventies I couldn't calculate And the eighties please it just stopped making sense The classics they got to me The classics they got to be like a favored vest A truant guest I had this idea to endure the classics Recent music wasn't sending me chills anymore

I'm compelled to issue some wrong terms To keep myself entertained I Feel non-pulsed when I pass up the abnormality The need to decompose after long days A general sense of infusion Departures from a train despot Do you catch my thrift? Momentary policy A prescription for magazines A subscription from a doctor Audience precipitation Mystery loves company Drug resistant inflection Privacy is not a victimless crime My immortalization schedule Nobility issues A desire to stop that internal racket A desire to stop that internal racket To set a president Resource repletion Comments that are have been sorted Momentary policy A prescription for magazines A subscription from a doctor Audience precipitation

You know my ideal Holding court Hunkered down In a snowed in chalet You know my actual Partially clinical Rather cynical Aiming for jovial You know me Usually prepared Seldom late But I wouldn't say present A lighter touch We've got a lot of creatures active We need a lighter touch We've got countless parties swamped We need a delicate charm A tender handoff is in order A tender handoff could be special Matching complications Visceral Mid-Atlantic dabblers It's like we don't want to be Burning the candle just at one end
